Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▼21%; Now £552k
Cash at bank: ▼10%; Now £55.6k
Headcount: ▼12%; Now 53
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £169k
Fixed assets: ▼8%; Now £1.3m

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
